    All the bar food was good, I particularly loved the onion rings! This is a very classic neighborhood bar, nothing fancy but a fine option for a drink. The others here seemed to be friends with the bartenders, so a good vibe!

    Came by for trivia night, which happens on Tuesdays at 7pm. My friend made a reservation, which is recommended for trivia night. Nickie's is a cozy spot with an incredibly friendly staff. The menu offers typical bar drinks and bites- whether you're craving a strong drink or a light beer, a snack or a meal, you'll find something here. The trivia was well-organized and decently challenging. It wasn't as large or elaborate as other bar trivias I've been to, but it was a good time nonetheless!

    I just came by Nickie's for the first time since pre-Covid, and I think they have new management or something. They have a new Yucatán menu (on top of the normal bar food) that is really great! I came for the Tuesday 7:00 trivia, and it was a great vibe! The trivia was really fun, and the food was delicious! We had the bistec con papas and la cochinita - I highly recommend both!

    Booze!

    With practice makes perfect!!…read more My first review was spot of for the time. But DAYUM did they PICK UP THEIR GAME! Can I say Grill Lemon Pepper Chicken wings....SO DELISH! We normally ask for DJ as our server. He is quick, thorough, on his game ALWAYS!!! We live him. If he is not available, we ask for Alyssa, same type of attentive service, but just a scoch more serious the DJ. This time we had Michael, he was upbeat laughed with you, and super fun. Thank you all 3 for keeping our table service on point. And the host staff specifically DJ's mom, lmao.... I am horrible I have never got her name and she is just the sweetest and with the thousands of people that dine at Splash, she remembers us, is always so helpful pleasantly refreshing and "keeps us in our place". Lmao.... Love it so much, spending my birthday here in 9 days for playoffs!!! Thank you Splash team, you all rock! P.S. CRAB FRIES, period!!!

    Great place to meet up with friends and/or family before and after an event!…read more It's pretty easy to get a seat either at the bar or at a counter since the place is big. There are indoor and outdoor seats. Order the THRIVE CITY NACHOS! It's a big portion and it's a 10/10! The chips are light and crispy and topped with black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and more! I added grilled chicken which made it a full meal for me hahaha each bite when you get a little bit of everything will make you do a little dance since it's so good! hahaha

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking. On our way back down to SoCal my brother is still raving about the burgers, this is a MUST-STOP the next time we come up to San Francisco!!

It also gets pretty full before Giants games since the bar is only a few blocks away from the ballpark. It's also a great place to meet people too... I've met individuals from all over the world including Peru, Argentina, Germany and Japan just to name a few. First off, you cannot go here without trying the Wisconsin Cheese Curds. I have personally been to Green Bay and I must say that these are the closest I've ever had to the real thing, no doubt. They're crispy, soft and oh soooo cheesy!! I also love how for every Packers touchdown, us real fans get jell-o shots! Fun fact: The tradition of the shots was started by a lady named Jackie... Real sweetheart! Well, she sadly passed away about two years ago, but they still continue that tradition and even dedicated her a nice plaque that's proudly displayed on the wall. Also, if you're a fan of bleu cheese, you'll definitely want to try out the NY Steak Sandwich as it comes with a yummy bleu cheese aioli! Even as a regular, just know it's kind of hard to get the bartender's attention if you want to order a drink or food as it gets kind of hectic around the bar area on game days. Don't be shy... Just wave em down and they're super chill and happy to take your order:)

By the time we arrived, the kitchen had already closed, but the staff kindly let us know that we were welcome to bring in outside food. They recommended Joyride Pizza next door, which turned out to be a great option to enjoy with our drinks. Both bartenders were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The music selection was also really good and added to the fun, lively atmosphere. We stayed until around 12:30 a.m., and even more people were coming in as we were leaving--it definitely seems like a popular weeknight spot! We had a great time and are glad we found The Lark.

The Lark turned an unplanned stop into one of the highlights of our day. It's definitely the kind of place you'll want to come back to and we certainly will.
